Let's talk about MILINT ARC TROOPER for CSM

The self proclaimed "Mad Scientist" has had a following on reddit for a while now, of which I find myself a part. I'm a simple man; I see a MILINT post, I upvote a MILINT post. He can be found posting absurd fits that leave people wondering why, when they should be wondering "why does this work?".

His platform highlights a lot of specific things he would like to use his voice as a CSM to advocate for.

My personal favorites include:

1. Fully testing changes. As MILINT has shown via many examples, there are a lot of things that don't get touched when updates happen. This can have unintended negative side effects which poorly impact the game.

2. Triglavian hauling ships

3. Dynamic Cargo Holds - Think T3C. Different rigs could add different holds or add different bonuses to improve the quality of life for space truckers

4. More compression - MILINT believes that compression is the future in making mining less of a headache for players.

More than just those items, he has a litany of ideas and even subdivides them into difficulties to implement. He has clearly put a lot of thought into these changes.

I think he's a great candidate!

Hey, bud!

Guess what, eh? The Canuck Capsuleers Chronicles, now boot-scootin' away from the ol' Beaver Show, is mixin' up something real special. We're cookin' up interviews with those fine candidates, you know, the ones brave enough to dive into the space rodeo!

Stay tuned, 'cause we're bringin' you the scoop that's hotter than a fresh poutine. Don't miss out, eh? Subscribe and let's have ourselves a hootin', tootin' time, spaceman style!

Enjoy eh!

The upcoming CSM election is approaching, and like many of us, sometimes we feel overwhelmed when choosing the best talents of the game from the list of 50 candidates. I don't intend to influence your vote—I always recommend voting for candidates who fit your profile. However, I will share with you my top 5 favorites for this new election:

The Oz: Well, I think many are familiar with him. For those who aren't, Oz is a genius in everything related to the economy. He has demonstrated with countless examples how to trade, understand the game from an economic perspective, and of course, how to make a lot of ISK in the process. I consider all these qualities important to be represented in this new CSM. A healthy economy makes the game more enjoyable for everyone, and who better than Oz to provide his insights and help maintain the balance.

Yondu Quill: An experienced player and an ambitious industrialist. He has interesting proposals, although they might seem a bit outlandish. I believe the first step is to plant a crazy idea. After that, the work of the CSM and CCP is to figure out how to turn it into something more realistic and still fun for both new and veteran players.

Lee Adoulin: Another player who loves industry. However, his proposals seem a bit more focused and feasible. He aims to enhance players' experience in terms of industry, mining, and transportation. Naturally, there are areas for improvement, but I believe his ideas are on the right track.

Stitch Kaneland: A skilled PVP player. While PVP isn't my forte, I think his proposals to balance ships a bit more and make fights a bit more exciting and, why not, perhaps a bit fairer, are very interesting. I believe his suggestions have a lot of potential.

Gustav Mannfred: His proposals for module balance, abyssal spaces, and Mutaplasmids are interesting and, in my opinion, necessary. Undoubtedly, his experience can help guide these changes to continue preserving the ecosystem's balance.

IMHO, no facts just the fog which is always around it.

There is an ongoing issue with leaking information out of the CSM Circle. The other issue is which big alliances advice their Members how to vote...and with ~40k Members its look kind of easy or? Who is best example for this Goons... but everybody does it. So who am I to complain.

In Germany we say "Ein Schelm wer böses denkt" but since there always bunch of goon realted peeps in the CSM... proof me wrong :)

But if you start searching on the best subreddit in the world something seems odd.

TTT Leak (Argument against bloc candidates)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/14i3j0f/on_allegations_of_csm_leaks_with_the_ttc/

Now there's been a lot of chatter about Vily calling emergency meeting to drop sotiyos only a few days before the ban became public and demanding immediate agreement so he could drop these XL structures.

German: "Auch ein blindes Huhn findet mal ein Korn"

But all the Darksides also have a bright funny one:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/14i9v62/csm_leaks_confirmed/TL:DR CSM 2021 rented a boat and it started leaking :P

And ofc we have our good eveonion:

If you consider to vote, step aside from the big power blocs and choose candidate which is matching your current playstyle and maybe has a nice charakter or so. Like some people you like by "Bauchgefühl" other not...!

Where is the "Wahl-o-Mat" for CSM? You get bunch of questions and in the end you get kind of result which matches you candiate. Didn´t we had this in the past? Ah, yes, we swapped over to the forum. So you need to read that manually, by yourself, alone at home, in the dark.

Happy voting and good luck for the CSM, the burden is real.

I'm a little biased since I am one, but here we go. I'm gonna give my choice for the candidate that I think best reflects the current understanding and connection ability required to refine what people think Pochven should be. Seal of approval of the locals.

Gabriell Bemenacth

PURPLE HELMETED WARRIORS

Svarog Liberi

6/7 year old player. Main experiences primairily are, but arent limited to, all Pochven content (Pochven based), Blopsing and cap hunting, small to mid sized fleet engagements and small gang/solo pvp. My primairy focus is Pochven related content and it's cross-over with New Eden at large.

Gab is the ■■■■■■■ man. I noticed him organically when starting to get back into pochven after some absence. When I say “noticed him organically” I mean take a krai svarog to pochven looking for pvp and Svarog Liberii WILL be on your radar. He walks a perfect line between gatekeeper of the old ways and super inclusive curator. It doesn’t matter how bad you suck right now, if you come with a drive to succeed in the region and a can do attitude, he’ll take you from ship spinning in fear to ranked killer real quick. I’m a Pochven candidate, but he’s THE PVP candidate for sure, and I have total trust in him curating the health of the smoll gang dream I fought in The Invasion for.

Here's my shameful self-promotion

working on my 20th year and still loving it. I'm promoting myself as a Trig/RP/New Player candidate.

Here's some quotes from my thread. :3

Cairo Dog - "I’ve been flying under Mel for 6 months (after like an 8 year break) so perhaps there’s a little bit of bias here but it seems rare to find someone that’s been playing the game for so long yet still has such a passion for it and the others that play it, managing to resist the allure of blaming/bashing CCP for every decision they make. He has lead me on more varied/interesting gameplay than most of what I’d seen before in my previous times playing the game, and the environment he promotes in corp is so friendly and postive and I’ve met a bunch of new folk that I’m happy to call friends. His investment into Pochven and the people that live their is genuine as is his wish to see the region improve with better content and a better environment to enable people to thrive.

As I said, biased, but I believe he will bring Zorya to speak with us again."

Gabriell Bemnacth - "Mel is passionate, optimistic and dedicated to everything triglavian. I’ve collaborated with him for a while now, and appreciate his dedication to his friends, copilots and enemies. He works hard for others and I’d feel comfortable having him represent the region and its interests.

Even the leader of Edencom had nice things to say

Prospektor Schipplock - "Well, as the Alliance Leader of the EDENCOM Defensive Initiative, I can only speak for you to vote for him. You have someone who fights for Pochven, and also supports the further development in cooperation with EDENCOM, even if that sounds a bit strange now.

Azdaja Clade is the only clade that has aspirations to deal with EDENCOM - and so we do.

When I ran for CSM 15, that was also my ambition, that something progress happens here, and I give this now into his hands."
